I would not recommend using carbon fiber layups over glass here.
Stay with the glass.

Not usable as is. You need to beef up the whole recessed gear channel with carbon fiber layups.
And preferably at the nut end of the bolts also. My 3 cents.

While cleaning the underbelly of my airplane I noticed a small piece of 1/4" thick hard rubber near where the right main landing gear attaches to the fuselage. (Photo1)
I took off all the inspection panels and found that the 1/4" thick hard rubber piece that goes between the landing gear and the fuselage had ripped with the piece I found falling out. I also noted that the fiberglass around the front hole where the bolt enters the fuselage is cracked. (Photos 2-3)
I checked the left great attachment and the rubber has not ripped but the fiberglass around the front hole where the bolt enters the fuselage is also cracked. (Photos 5-6)
The top part of both bolts inside the fuselage look the same as they have been during every condition inspection. (photos 4 & 7)
Not being a fiberglass guy my question is this a safety of flight issue? I am not flying the airplane until I get a better idea of what I am up against.
Any help/recommendations are very welcome. No matter what, I will have to get someone nearby to fix this for me since again, I am not a fiberglass guy.
